Mileage is listed on the site and is always accurate.
It's done 39k miles with FVWSH, 2 owners.

Considering I sold a 43k UK 98/R VR6 in black with cloth, FVWSH, demo + lady owner and a/c for ?7490 (the full asking price) within 3 days to a Glaswegian (I am in Bham), I'd say that it was competitively priced actually, Scotsmen aren't known for wasting their cash.
The last owner paid ?10k for it just 2 years and not many miles ago.

You get what you pay for unless you can get a genuine bargain but these are rare;

A friend just bought from a dealer a 96/P VR6 Highline in Black, 3 dr. 75k miles with FSH.  He paid ?5k which is probably cheap to people on this list.  He's already spent ?850 on sorting it out and it still has really bad paint on os rear 1/4 panel, os door, front bumper and something like filler jutting out of a sill.  Let me point out I was on holiday when he bought it so had nothing to do with!

Nah 7 and a half is dear, I saw a 48,00 mile highline with climatronic on the Auto Trader for less than six and a half about three months ago.  But if you can get em to pay that much then fair play, I can think of worse cars to spend that sort of money on.

Glen, I think you're missing my point.

Cars on Autotrader may seem attractive in print but when you go see them they are often not what you imagined.

There aren't many VR6's out there you can buy from a dealer and then with no work display at a show and mine was one of those - not one mark on the BBS wheels which had not been refurbished, 2 of the original Dunlops still on the back.

There was a Chili Red 3 door without air or leather on the show scene over the last few years, done about 50k on an N reg and he wanted ?7500 - but it was like new.

If you don't want that kind of quality then fine, to be honest owning a car like that is a PITA as you have to be careful where you park all the time and I wouldn't dare put my mountain bike in the back!

I bought my M reg VR6 a year and half ago for ?5500, it had full history and 58k on the clock, very tidy motor. What do you think of that Mr.Volkswizard?  ;)
